CollegeThe professor put in no effort. DO NOT TAKE HIM
Worst professor I've had. Unclear what was expected and extremely unrealistic grading. Provided little feedback on what to study. Avoid at all costs!
Easily the most frustrating experience I have had in a math class. Professor often changed or cancelled office hours, was unresponsive over email, graded tests harshly, and sometimes struggled writing proofs in class. He responded to requests for help with course content or for study material beyond his insufficient resources with condescension.
Very poorly taught. very ungraciously graded
The professor put in the least amount of effort into teaching I have ever seen a teacher put it. He was very rude to students when confronted by students or asked to provide more support. Exams and reasoning for grading were not provided. His clarity and mastery over the material was in line with his poor teaching
Course has very little homework and no feedback given. In essence, the only preparation for the final is some poorly given lectures
